The Disheveled Girl's Guide to Buying Designer Handbags - Jessica Cobabe

Some girls splurge on shoes, some girls splurge on sunnies – but this girl right here is a certified bag lady through and through.

My fetish began as soon as I could crawl, which I did – right into my moms closet to play dress up with her collection of carefully curated designer handbags, from Chanel to Louis, and MCM to Cholé the gang was all accounted for – and I was hooked.

To this day, I have taken after my mother in the regard but what I always loved about my mama and her collection was her ability to side-step handbags that were ‘IT’ and go for the classics that to this day are just as relevant as they were when she bought them.

I’ll never forget the day my mom handed down her vintage Louis Vuitton Speedy to me – it was weathered in all the right places and carried with it the nostalgia of the business trips my mom took around the globe.

That being said, designer handbags are an investment. You really have to save for them, and even then, those savings could be going towards something more useful (as the adult that I now am). I always look out for realistic and quality replicas that are much more affordable, and with Mau-fashion’s Chanel replica info, along with other designer brands, this is easier than ever! In addition to this, being a gal on a budget, (and quite frankly a gal who would rather collect stamps in her passport than the latest ‘IT’ anything), pre-owned bags are such a great way to go! But where is a girl to start?! The last thing anyone wants to do is spend their hard earned cash on a bag that isn’t in mint condition, or even worse – fake!

That is why I was sooooo excited to discover Trendlee – a site that sells authenticated pre-owned designer handbags in mint condition, and for a fraction of the retail price! Like, for real – I have always wanted a Céline bag, but could honestly never justify dropping 2 months rent to get one. So you can imagine the happy dance that ensued when I discovered this Céline Python Edge Handbag for less than half of the retail price!

Not only are all of their handbags put through a rigorous authentication process and they offer a 100% money back guarantee – so if you ever change your mind, or aren’t happy with your purchase, you aren’t stuck with a bag you don’t love (for those of you who have shopped in luxury boutiques, many have a strict 14 day return policy and many only offer store credit, so this is MAH-jor).

BTW – every Thursday, you can score a luxury designer handbag for $1 – yeah you read that right – Trendlee does this really cool treasure hunt on their site – and the first person to find the bag of the week can buy it for $1 -eeeeee!

With the holidays around the corner, and gift giving in full swing – this is the perfect place to pick up that arm candy at a fraction of the price – so whether you are a fella spoiling your girl or mom rotten, a gal who is rewarding herself for a job well done, or you want to show your bestie why she is your BFF – this is the place!
